Adi Da leads us to inspect all the unconscious presumptions that determine our sense of what is "real" - including the core presumption of being a separate "self". "Notice the chronic disposition of mistrust and fear that accompanies this core illusion", He says, "and allow your heart to trust What Is Real."

Come spiega Adi Da, la pratica spirituale diventa possibile quando la dipendenza e le limitazioni relative alla vita ordinaria sono del tutto chiare e comprese.
In this seminal discourse (at the Mountain Of Attention), from the early years of His Teaching Work, Adi Da speaks about the inevitable process of self-revelation and self-understanding that prepares the being for true Spiritual life.

Avatar Adi Da Samraj: ”Ylitän kaiken — ja sisällän kaiken… Tarjoan Jumalaisen Avataarisen Paljastus-Opetukseni kaikille Yleispätevänä ja Ainutlaatuisena Viisautena, joka leikkaa valikoimatta kaikkien rajoitusten läpi. Olen Jumalainen Avatar joka ylittää Lännen ja Idän.”
Avatar Adi Dan elinaika oli ainutlaatuinen havainnollistus Hänen Valaistuneesta Tilastaan jota Hän nimittää ”Kirkkaaksi” tai Tietoiseksi Valoksi, joka on Itse Todellisuus. Hänen syntymästään marraskuun 3. päivänä vuonna 1939 Long Islandilla New Yorkin osavaltiossa Hänen ruumiinsa taakse jättämiseen marraskuun 27. päivänä vuonna 2008, Hänen elämänsä on kertomus ”Kirkkaan” väliintulosta ihmisten aikaan.
Hänen elinaikanaan Avatar Adi Da perusti uuden ja ainutlaatuisen mahdollisuuden kaikkien olentojen ja koko mailman kasvulle ja muutokselle. Hänen Paljastuksensa näyttää Jumalaisen Todellisuuden, jokaisen yksilön ja kaiken Alkuperäisen Olotilan.
Avatar Adi Da Samraj on aina sanonut, että se Polku jota Hän Opettaa, on egon ylittävä suhde, eikä egoa palveleva tekniikka. Polku perustuu siihen, etta yksilö tunnistaa Hänet ja vastaa Hänelle. Se on äänetön, hiljainen vaisto jokaisen omassa sydämessä. Ei ole kyse pelkästään uskomuksista, ideoista tai tekniikoista, jotka tavoittelevat joko materiaalista tai hengellistä täyttymystä. Avatar Adi Da Samraj Paljastaa Itse Jumalaisen Olotilan, Itse Tietoisuuden Rakkaus-Autuus-Valon kaikille, jotka vastaavat Hänelle.
Tämä lyhytelokuva on yleiskatsaus Avatar Adi Dan elämään ja Opetukseen sekä myös kutsu ryhtyä Hengelliseen suhteeseen Hänen kanssaan.tags: Finnish

May You Ever Dwell In Our Hearts is a deeply moving, sacred, contemplative CD that celebrates Adi Da's Life of Love and Blessing. This tribute to Adi Da Samraj includes music from many different genres, ranging from Indian classical to jazz to world music and other contemporary styles.

ADI DA: "I find people's sorrows and losses to be heartbreaking and terrible and an immense burden and I am sympathetic and bless people in their trouble. However you must understand that is the nature of this place. This is not utopia, it is not paradise. It is a place of death, endings, suffering, brief amusements. It is not enough and merely to react to your difficulties for overlong and try to make an entire life out of it is fruitless. You do have to move on beyond that reaction to any moments suffering and loss. You must know the place you’re in and live in accordance with that knowledge instead of being sympathetic with some false view of the world or self or trying to idealize some aspect of potential experience, indulging in what amounts to addictions, repetitions of experiences, in order to avoid the knowledge of what is inherent in life, as well as all the hell that is coming on earth and is here. You will not be fulfilled.”tags: Avataric Discourse

Onko Muurahaisella Egoa? poster: Adi Da Videot Suomi length: 18:44 date added: August 31, 2019 event date: October 20, 2004 language: Finnish views: 1599; views this month: 14; views this week: 2 [Contains Finnish subtitles.

"Onko Muurahaisella Egoa?" ("Is an ant an ego?") is a video excerpt from a humorous and profoundly insightful Avataric Discourse (given by Adi Da on October 20, 2004 at Adi Da Samrajashram), Adi Da considers the difference between self-consciousness and egoity, referring to both humans and non-humans (including dogs, ants, and trees).
ADI DA: [Laughs] You generally attribute egoity to human beings, but you wonder about everything else. For instance, what about not something relatively inert like a rug or even just standing there and not seeming to be particularly responsive, like a tree. But what about a dog? Is a dog, do you think dogs are egos when you see them, just as readily as you think of human beings as egos? But, why do you draw the line? I mean how far does it go? Where do you stop thinking of living entities, at least, as egos? Do you just presume everything bigger than a cricket is an ego? Or is everything that moves in your, from your perspective experientially or in your natural presumptions, how far do, does the fact of egoity extend in your presumption.
Well, is an ant an ego in your presumption?
The word “ego” is actually a Greek word which means “I”. I consider it with you and talk about it in terms of self-contraction and so forth, but, so that’s the elaboration on its meaning, but the word simply means “I” which means the reference, self-reference, the reflexive, reflexive pronoun as it’s called of self-reference. So, does an ant feel self-referential?
You observe them protecting themselves and struggling with others. Couldn’t do so without some kind of self-consciousness, could it? So, you naturally presume that even something like an ant is, is a self, an ego, self-aware. Does something have to move from its spatial location? Does it have to be able to take a walk or, such as an ant or a human being, or can a tree? Does a tree have self-consciousness, exhibit self-consciousness. . .
What about trees? They are entities with apparent self-consciousness of a kind. They are in that sense, egos. But are they egoic? Are they functioning egoically? Are they feeling that they are in bondage and moved to seek as human beings are and as you feel in your own case, you see? Trees don’t seem to behave, generally speaking, in quite that way. They are self-conscious as organisms, but they don’t seem to be particularly disturbed about being trees. They seem more characterized by some kind of contemplation in which they don’t feel disturbed.
But if you observe non-humans, virtually all of them show signs of setting themselves apart and entering into a contemplative state that resembles some kind of a samadhi or meditative condition.
Why do you think human beings are disturbed? You see, why is human egoity what it is? If you observe how it appears in evidence in non-humans, suggests that human beings are the way they are because they’re confined, and not just confined by walls and bars. Some people are, and they get very disturbed there, and walk back and forth or get catatonic.
Your bondage is your own activity, and it also extends from conditions. Conditions can reinforce or seem to justify self-contraction. But still what you’re suffering is self-contraction itself.
So, human beings are actually confined, and they are self-confined, and otherwise, also, living in various modes and degrees of confinement by conditions of life and in fact, human beings feel confined by bodily existence, because however healthy you may be at the moment, you know you’re going to die, and are potentially, potentially, you could suffer any number of great happenings. And you anticipate that inevitably, you will, sooner or later, experience some fundamental difficulties that you would prefer not to have to endure, including disease and death.
Well, everything that’s physically living is going to die. The trouble, the difference is does it drive you crazy, make you seek, or are you at ease, because you haven’t lost touch with what transcends that possibility?tags: Avataric DiscourseFinnish
